And like I said, no they aren't. PT can no longer be found, transferred, DL'ed, hell there was even a rumor of an update that would disable it. So yes it has happened and can again. If we don't give a firm 'no' it's gonna get worse. Putting it off because you can still find a few delisted things won't fix the coming problem.

1) Yes, it can be found, and downloaded using this technique (which means it was DE-LISTED, not removed):

2) It can be transferred because it is just files, back them up and hack them to get them to work on another PS4.

3) Again, "rumor".

I think you're looking at the from the wrong angle. Companies have backups so content isn't going to vanish. It's more about preserving our content and accessibility. We don't have the luxury (with modern consoles at least) to backup or transfer files. Retro consoles have been emulated and we have the ability to make new carts/discs.

Anything can be backed-up, it is just files on a computer. Modern consoles very much included. You might have had an argument if you were talking about cartridge games years ago or even early CD games, but literally everything can be ripped, backed-up, and transferred.

PC I shouldn't have to explain, that goes without question.
